kobe at disneyland

Posted on by

Rob and I found out on Tuesday night that the Lakers (it turned out to be just Kobe) were going to appear at Disneyland on Thursday morning to celebrate their NBA championship. Now, if you know the two of us, you KNOW this is the PERFECT combination of things we love. So I managed to get the morning off from work and we made our way over to the happiest place on Earth. Thank goodness for our Annual Passes!



We arrived just after the 8am park opening and there were already TONS of purple and gold faithful lining Main Street waiting for the 10am parade. Rob decided to stake out a seat for us in front of the Fire Dept/City Hall area while I got my morning coffee and croissant. YUM.



Here we are happily waiting for the parade to start. It was cool and overcast in the morning but as it got later, the sun came out and beat down on us. It was so hot I was afraid of getting a sunglass tan. (I do have priorities).



Kobe’s approaching! You could *feel* the anticipation in the air.



The lead banner of the parade. SQUEE.





Finally. There’s Kobe’s coming around the corner! WITH MICKEY. WOOOOOOOOOO. The parade was just 1 float accompanied by a handful of Disney characters and dancers dressed in Lakers jerseys but there was something about being there with so many other fans that made the “event” feel bigger than it really was. I’m glad I got to be a part of it.



Before heading home to go back to work, we managed to fit in a quick ride on Space Mountain (still the best ride ever). On our way out of the park, I spotted this cast member selling purple and gold balloons so I had to get my picture taken with them. And no, I was not the only person doing this. It was a great start to my day. 🙂

  1. I still think it’s SO COOL that you can just go to Disneyland whenever you want. I would LOVE to have that luxury…too bad I’m all the way in Hawaii!

    Oh, and BTW…I totally agree with you…Space Mountain is THE BEST ride ever! 🙂 Love it.

  4. I’m so repulsed I don’t even know what to say. Everything I’ve written so far I’ve had to delete because there was just no way of saying how this last post made me feel without being offensive (and for anyone who knows me that is saying a lot). My hatred of Kobe is now greater than ever. He’s ruined the Happiest Place On Earth. I just threw up in my mouth. I have to go. Hate that guy….

  5. All these trips to Disney Land make me so envious. I really want to go to Disney World in 2010 because that’s when Harry Potter world is going to open (or whatever they are calling it and I know it’s not AT Disney World but I figure I could do both places on a trip.)

    Also, received your thank you card in the mail this week! So gorgeous Kel. And your married name was on it. I felt all “awww” for you. I think that’s the first time I’ve seen you use it.
